Playing with Old Things

I recently had some long distance inspiration from my sister in Rochester. These were the cards I created with the same idea she had using an old retired hostess reward stamp set for the background stamping. I used the sentiments from some more recently retired sets as well as a stamp and die from Papertrey Ink. I also had fun digging into my October Afternoon papers for the black borders. 

All of the cards use current Close To My Heart ink colors, Canary, Smoothie, Glacier, Sweet Leaf and  Black. The colored twine was some I had in my stash thanks to my sister! I used the Scallop Border Thin Cuts Die with Smoothie card stock on the two cards below. 

It was so much fun to create these cards in our freezing cold temperatures last week. Though we live 5 hours apart, it was fun to inspire each other with our creations. Thanks, Leslie! Wish we lived closer so we could create together in person!

Thanks for stopping by!
